Product Description
From the 2010 major motion picture featuring Academy AwardŽ winner Robert Duvall, Golden Globe winner Bill Murray, Academy AwardŽ winner Sissy Spacek, and Lucas Black, Get Low follows the story of the mysterious 1930s Tennessee hermit who famously threw his own rollicking funeral party...while he was still alive. The soundtrack combines an all-star cast of musicians. Academy AwardŽ winning composer Jan A.P. Kaczmarek's dramatic score is both moving and haunting. 12 time Grammy winner and the world's most renowned Dobro player, Jerry Douglas, sweeps us away to the Southern countryside with his authentic jams. Grammy nominated and IBMA award winning band The SteelDrivers enliven the mood with their bluegrass renditions of traditional folk songs. 25 time Grammy winner Alison Krauss' beautiful closing song leaves the audience with a tear in their eye, but a smile on their face. The rest of the soundtrack is wonderfully appointed with vintage classics from The Ink Spots, Gene Austin, Paul Whiteman and Bix Beiderbecke.
I just saw Robert Duvall's latest film, so the music soundtrack has relevence. But even if I hadn't seen Get Low, I would have bought it anyway. It's that good.
The album is an atmospheric mix of old-time, classic country and original bluegrass music performed by the premiere artists of those genres. You may already know the work of Alison Krauss and Jerry Douglas, but if you've never heard The SteelDrivers before, this is your chance to be truly impressed by an exceptional bluegrass band. The gritty authenticity of lead singer Chris Stapleton's powerful voice will send chills up and down your spine.
More important, this nostalgic compilation reminds this former East Tennessean of some of the crusty individualists that still live in the mountains and hollers of Appalachia. Thus, I will play this album often, but especially when I'm headed back home.

For my the highlight of this album is The Steeldrivers. They completely steal the show. I would buy the album just for that. Not enough Alison Krauss i.m.o. she is advertised as being a focal point but doesn't have as many standout tunes as The Steeldrivers. I would still highly recommend this album, especially for Bix Beiderbecke's sensational Dixie tune "Looking for a Four Leaf Clover." I absolutely loved it!
If anybody is looking for the album super cheap you can get it used for like $6 or $7 on ebay [...]
